We've got a lot of exciting sessions, activities, and discussions planned for the next three and a little bit days and are really looking forward to meeting and engaging with you all. Lots more information starting on Monday when we meet for the first time, but until then, feel free to peruse our website for some hints at what sessions will cover (note, though, that materials for some sessions will only be revealed in class).
